Invalid active developer path on MAC OS X after installing Ruby
I resolved the issue with the below steps.
Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools -> Select the command tool matching your Xcode version.
I started getting the same error after updating to OS X El Capitan.
In my case, all I did was to install it:
sudo xcode-select --install
And it works fine for me.
[Update] The steps below are for OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Those experiencing this because of an upgrade to 10.11 (El Capitan) seem need to only run sudo xcode-select --install
as described in the accepted answer.
I found a suggestion here which indicated
sudo xcode-select -switch /
as the fix. However, this threw an error that the developer path was invalid.
Instead, for me, I modified this to
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
(which is a mixture of the two referenced link solutions) and this worked.
[Edit]
Try using
xcode-select --print-path
to find your developer path if /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/ is still invalid for you.
I know this is quite old but I got the same issue and then I fixed it by doing couple more extra steps. Problem came when Terminal could not find the actual path of the Command Line Tools.
- If you had Xcode and then removed it, then Terminal is referring to
the Command Line Tools inside the Xcode folder. Try using this
command and check what your path is,
xcode-select --print-path
. This would most likely print/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
. - Now to fix this, reinstall the command line tools for xcode. Initially remove any previous installations using
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
. - Then install the command line tools
sudo xcode-select --install
Now the final step, change the path for the CLT to the actual path usingsudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/
this will fix it.
